Boca Juniors suffered a hard fall against Arsenal, who with these three points left the last place of the positions of the Professional League but that continues as bottom in the table of averages. Jorge Almiron decided to modify the team that had performed so well in the last game at home against Tigre, especially the Varela and Equi Fernández tandem, to place a double nine with the entry of Benedetto next to Merentiel. The team felt the lack of balance in midfield and Sarandí’s team achieved a great victory thanks to the goal by Joaquin Pombo.
After the match, long faces were notorious in the team xeneize and although it was initially announced that the coach was not going to give the press conference, it was later reported that he would speak but would not accept questions. The unusual dialogue took place in this way, with Jorge Almirón obviously obfuscated by the serious error of the arbitration body made up of the main judge Leandro Rey Hilfer and with Hernán Mastrángelo in charge of the VARwho badly expelled Weigandt at the start of the plugin.
“I understand that there are many questions that you want to ask, I just wanted you to understand the discomfort of the players and of us. I’m not going to excuse myself for anything, the rival did his job, he beat us well if it can be said in a certain way. He beat us, I have nothing against the rival. The approach of the double nine is debatable, they are two very good players, the team played very seriously, ”Almirón began his monologue.
Until the moment he was waiting for arrived, his strong criticism of arbitration. “The referee harms us. It’s a normal soccer play, anyone who understands the game analyzes it like this. The VAR reports it. Chelo (Weigandt) is looking at the ball, he does not see the opponent, who lowers his head in an area that is compromised for him. He doesn’t see it, he touches if he hurts him, accidentally and on top of that goes the VAR. Is incredible”.
And I add: “I don’t like to complain but I want my team to show that it is superior or if it has to lose it is because the rival wins. We played important things on Tuesday, we played a time with one less and we made a big effort. They are hurting us and it is not the first time. The doubtful are always against us. It’s complicated, I just wanted to say this, I’m not going to answer anything.
Before saying goodbye, Almirón continued with his non-existent self-criticism. “The analysis is clear, surely there is a lot to analyze from the media, I just want to say that. The players are hurt and worried, we want the rival to beat us well. It was a totally normal play. 14 fouls in the second half, it’s a game, there’s no drama. But the referee is there to deliver justice and he let it run. It’s a shame to have to protest everything.”
“It’s exhausting because on Tuesday we have an important game,” he insisted, alluding to the game against Colo Colo in the group stage of the Copa Libertadores. “We will arrive tired, but we promise the people that we are going to give everything in this very important game. We want to win again, it was a great wear. The boys did very well, with a huge effort. Unfortunately we leave empty handed. On Tuesday we are going to play with significant fatigue, but we are going to go for the classification that is in our hands. Leaving this step behind that is painful, but gives impotence ”, he closed.
